“I am hoping there’s going to be a check in the mail for me - I’m trying to get my bag!” Curley joked. Many of them are hoping that Nickelodeon brings the show to a streaming service, allowing far more people to watch it, and boosting the former team’s earnings as a result. They still get paid some residuals from the show, but they won’t make money off of the audio that’s gone viral on TikTok. It’s unclear what will come to the creators because of the music’s newfound success. “Who knows, maybe this is something that will just last like another ten minutes, but the fact that it makes people aware that there’s some really beautiful work that was done for this show, I think that’s a good thing.” “I always thought the quality of the music on this show was a lot higher than in a lot of other kids’ media, and it makes me happy that it’s breaking through,” Smith said. Recently, Smith’s niece attended her high school prom, where the DJ played “Castaways.” McPaul Smith, the show’s lyricist, first found out about the resurgence of “Castaways” from a colleague, who told him her daughter loved the song and it was all over TikTok.
As was typically the process for the Backyardigans’ staff, the lyricists worked first, writing to the tune of another song from the genre to ensure they had the rhythm right - but not telling the composer what song they’d used, so he wouldn’t get stuck on it and accidentally write a knockoff. “I studied Brazilian samba when I first came to New York, in a basement in the West Village, so I spent some time with those rhythms,” he said. It was also a perfect fit for the show’s cocomposer, Doug Wieselman. “You think of ‘Girl From Ipanema,’ you think of kicking back at the beach, and obviously bossa nova is a perfect fit for that.” “ seemed to fit perfectly,” said Leslie Valdes, who wrote the lyrics and the episode. For “Castaways” - also the name of the 2005 episode in which it aired - the team quickly landed on bossa nova, a style of samba music that originated in Brazil in the 1950s. The Backyardigans featured four songs per episode, touching upon a wide variety of musical genres, from Motown to ska to klezmer. A song from its first season, “Castaways,” became such a trend it hit #1 on Spotify’s viral charts.īuzzFeed News spoke to the three voice actors, two lyricists, and two composers - the people ~behind the music~ - to find out how “Castaways” came together, and what it’s like having a samba song written for a children’s show become the sleeper hit of the summer. Now, years since its final episode, The Backyardigans is having a massive nostalgic resurgence on TikTok. Nash, now a 24-year-old songwriter, served as Uniqua’s singing voice during the show’s first three seasons, beginning when she was 7 years old. You may better know Nash as Uniqua, the spotted pink creature that starred in The Backyardigans, the musical children’s show that aired on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2013. “ had to keep telling me to stand in front of the mic because I just wanted to dance - I was doing hula dancing and all that.” “I just remember moving so much because I loved it so much,” Nash told BuzzFeed News.
